I too an curious if there is any mention of JOHN LENNON (my great x3 grandfather) in the Michigan Pioneer and historical Collections. He was an original settler of Ann Arbor in 1860 along with his family, wife Lydia Elisabeth (maiden name Engle), daughters Marietta and Ellen Lowesia, son Spencer David. His brother William also arrived with them and father Robert Lennon. I found one mention of him in the Pioneers of Washtenaw County referance book.He settled a land claim of 80 acres on what is now Broadway and had a "truck farm" through 3 generations of Lennons and 2 more generations were born there ending with my dad. I would greatly appreciate you looking this up for me. Thanks a million!
